Do you have any Tesco Clubcard vouchers that you can convert to deals vouchers?

You could use them on the Pleasure Beach, the Tower and the Zoo.

and Tussauds and sea-life

Stanley Park is a good place to spend time - a boat ride and kick about with a ball on a dry afternoon - not been for a while but used to go there when mine were younger.

Also if you have transport a ride a few miles to St Annes - beach, peir and much less commercialised (check peir is still open again not been in a few years!!) there was a bit of a lake there with a path under a waterfall - my kids used to love going under this - ahh simple pleasures when they're young.

A good chippy is at far end of Blackpool - near tableax pictures of illuminations - it's called Bisbam Kitchen - has eat in restaurant and take away - steak puddings are amazing all home made and the cakes are to die for!!!!

Tram ride to Cleveleys - again a beach a few rides and less commercialised than Blackpool itself.

Don't know if this helps - not been there with kids for a few years now

Blackpool , 6 kids under 7, low budget.

They just don't mix.

Go to a caravan park next to a beach with good entertainment (I'm thinking Haven type places), the kids will have a ball, you can cook your own food and there will be loads of free things for them to do, all day every day:D.

Save Blackpool for when they're older, imho it's not the best place to take them.

sorry if this isn't the answer you were expecting.

Use Tesco CLubcard vouchers for cheaper entry into nearby places of interest, and for money off food or accommodation, if you have any vouchers left.

Hi There,

I just posted about a deal Premier Inn have launched. 750,000 rooms for £29. They have family rooms and Premier Inn tends to be much better that Travel Lodge from a cleanliness point of view.

I do not think any hotel will let you have 2 adults and 6 kids in one room though!

I think family rooms at Premier Inn tend to be 2 adults and 2 children so I presume you could have 1 adult and 3 children in each room.

This would mean you will only have to pay £58 a night for all of you and I think kids eat free breakfast with paying adult so this should help you out on the food cost.

Regards
